Ok, how about this one. The Ancient Greeks were renowned for their wooden ships. Over time pieces become rotten and have to be replaced. Is it now the same ship? If not, what has happened to the original? And if I collected all the rotten pieces which were replaced over time and so eventually the whole ship had been replaced and built these up into a ship, which ship is original?
Believe it or not, this is a dilemma which the Ancient Greeks pondered.

The Human body replaces its cells over time with a completely new skeleton every 10-11 years. Are you still “you” after 12 years have passed?
